Cooktop safety
Your safety is important to us
This guide contains safety statements under warning symbols. Please pay special attention to
these symbols and follow instructions.
WARNING!
This symbol alerts you to hazards such as fire, electrical shock, or other injuries.
Important safety instructions
CAUTION!
Do not touch heating elements or areas near elements. Elements may be hot even
though they are dark in color. Areas near surface may become hot enough to cause
burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials
contact elements or areas near elements until they have had sufficient time to cool.
CAUTION!
Do not store items of interest to children in cabinets above a cooktop. Children climbing
on the cooktop could be seriously injured.
WARNING!
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, injury to persons, or damage when using the
cooktop, follow basic precautions including the following:
General safety tips
This appliance must be properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician.
Never use your appliance for warming or heating the room.
Children should not be left alone or unattended in an area where the appliance is in use.
They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.
Wear proper apparel. Loose-fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while
using the appliance.
Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically recommended in
the manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.
Do not store flammable materials near the appliance.

Do not use water on grease fires. Smother fire or flame or use dry chemical or foam type
extinguisher.
Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns
from steam. Do not let potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or
other bulky cloth.
Use an appropriate pan size. This appliance is equipped with one or more surface
units of different size. Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the
surface unit heating element. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of
the heating element to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper
relationship of utensil to element will also improve efficiency.
Never leave an element unattended at HI heat settings - boilover causes smoking and
greasy spills that may ignite.
Glazed cooking utensils. Only certain types of glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware
or other glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop service without breaking due to the
sudden change in temperature.
To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to
unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of a utensil should be turned inward,
so that it does not extend over adjacent elements.
Do not cook on broken cooktop. If cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and
spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Turn off
at the wall switch. Contact a qualified technician immediately.
Clean cooktop with caution. If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot
cooking area, be careful to avoid steam burns. Some cleaners can produce noxious
fumes if applied to a hot surface.
Some heavy-duty scourers can scratch the ceramic glass of your cooktop.

Temperature control
Your cooktop offers a wide range of temperature
settings from delicate slow cooking to the intense
hot temperatures needed for boiling and searing.
As the control knob is turned clockwise, the heat
output is increased. Turn the control knob to
the HI setting to begin cooking and adjust as
necessary.
The control knob must be pushed down to turn
it from the OFF position. When the control knobs
are in any position other than OFF, they may be
turned without pushing down.
The elements are controlled by variable energy regulators giving infinite control. There is no
‘stop’ at the low marking, this is to allow you to experiment at finding the minimum heat for
those delicate cooking tasks. (The power level drops off rapidly to zero below the LO marking).
The HI setting is ideal for boiling, searing or frying. For general cooking purposes turn the
control knob to the HI setting to begin cooking and adjust as necessary. Once your pan is hot,
reduce the temperature to maintain a steady heat to cook your food through.
Cooking efficiency will vary due to the different types of cooking utensils used. Cooking results
are influenced by pot quality and size. It is essential that pot size matches the diameter of
the cooking zone. Use flat bottom utensils of good quality. Poor performance is often due to
incorrect pot size. You will need to experiment with the temperature settings to match your
desired cooking result.
Be sure you turn the control knob off when you finish cooking. You will feel a click at the off
position (marked ), and see the indicator light change colour.
Dual circuit controls
Select the full element by turning the knob counter-clockwise to high. To heat the inner
element only, turn clockwise to high.
Hot surface indicators
The indicator light glows red whenever an element
is on. After the element has been turned off, the
indicator will glow amber until the element surface
has cooled down to a temperature that is safe to
touch.

Supersimmer
The front right element of your cooktop is fitted with
a unique simmer control. This allows the element to
be turned down to a very low and even power setting
(25 watts compared with 60 watts on other elements).
These lower settings are ideal for melting chocolate and
butter, cooking rice and delicate sauces and simmering
soups and stews. It can also be used as a ‘warm zone’
for keeping cooked food hot.
The Supersimmer element is just as powerful (1200W)
in the top heat range as the same size standard element
(lefthand rear element) allowing food to be browned,
seared, sautéed or boiled before simmering all on the
same element.
Temperature limiters
Temperature limiters are fitted to the elements to prevent the glass from overheating. You may
notice the limiters turn the elements on and off during cooking.
Heating tips
Choose cookware of a suitable size, material and construction.
Place your pan on the element prior to turning on the heat.
Minimize the amount of liquid or fat to reduce cooking times.
Select the most appropriate temperature setting for the cooking task.
When you need to boil, simmer or pan fry food, first set the temperature to HI. Once boiling
or your pan is hot, reduce the temperature setting to maintain a steady heat to cook your food
through.
Using a lid will help retain the heat.
Using the heat retained in the ceramic glass after the element has been turned off helps to finish
the cooking process or to keep foods warm.
Radiant elements
The element will cycle on and off to maintain your selected heat setting.
It is safe to place hot cookware from the oven or another element on the glass surface when the
surface is cool.
Even after the elements are turned off, the glass surface retains enough heat to continue
cooking. To avoid over-cooking, remove pans from hot elements when the food is cooked.
Avoid placing anything on a hot element until it has cooled completely (the hot surface indicator
light has gone out).

Cookware
To get the best results out of your cooktop follow these simple suggestions :
Use heavy gauge, flat, smooth bottom pans that conform to the diameter of the cooking area.
This will provide good contact with the glass and help reduce cooking times.
Cookware with a stainless steel sandwich base or enamelled cast iron will give you the best
results.
When food comes to the boil reduce the temperature setting.
Never use plastic or aluminium foil dishes on the cooktop.
Aluminium and copper-bottomed cookware can cause a metallic residue to remain on the
cooktop. If left, this becomes difficult to remove. Clean the cooktop after every use.
Jagged edges on saucepans or heavy frypans will scratch the cooktop.
Using a lid will reduce cooking times.

Cleaning
Caring for your cooktop
Clean the cook top thoroughly before using for the first time. Apply about 1/4 teaspoon of non-
abrasive cleaner e.g. Weiman Cook Top Cleaning Creme to the ceramic glass with a clean cloth.
Wipe over the entire surface with a damp cloth to remove any cleaner residue and dry with a
clean lint-free cloth. The cook top may stain if cleaning residue or moisture remains.
To keep your cook top looking attractive and easy to clean, wipe over with an approved cleaner
after every cooking session. Apply the cleaning creme sparingly onto the cool ceramic surface
with a clean cloth. Rub well to remove dirt and grease. Wipe with a damp cloth and dry with a
clean lint-free cloth. Normal wear and tear will occur but this will not affect the performance of
the cook top.
Avoid the use of abrasive or corrosive cleaning products. Nylon scouring pads, steel wool,
pumice scourers, oven sprays or strong caustic cleaners may scratch or cause pitting of the
ceramic glass surface.
Remove any heavy or burned on spills or grease using the scraper provided. Apply 1/4 teaspoon
of cleaning creme to the cool soiled area and holding the scraper at a 30° angle to the cook top
surface and gently scrape off any residue. Take care not to scratch or gouge the surface. Creme
cleaners work well when the surface is still warm but to avoid personal injury do not wipe or
clean any hot areas.
WARNING!
Cut Hazard
When the safety cover is retracted the blade in the scraper is razor
sharp. Use with extreme care and always store safely and out of reach of
children.
Some heavy-duty scourers can scratch the ceramic glass of your cooktop.
Food spillovers with a high sugar content such as jellies, fudge and candy syrups must be
removed immediately, before cooling, as they can cause permanent damage to the cooktop.
Plastics and aluminium foil can also cause pitting and must never be allowed to melt on. Special
care should be taken when removing hot substances. Turn off all surface units affected by
the spillover and remove the hot pans. Wearing an oven mitt to hold the scraper, scrape the spill
to a cool area of the cook top and use a paper towel to remove any excess. Clean the surface
unit when cool. Do not continue to use the soiled area until all the spillover has been removed.
Remember some foods e.g. peas and turnip, have a naturally high sugar content.
